While I still dislike how dumb Takada is, and even tho I still think they are exploring the concept of bullying in the wrong way, I liked this episode a lot more than the previous one. The comedy it's pretty much the same, but I liked the introduction of Takada's sister, and I love the fact that Takada is actually facing the bullies and arguing with them, not entirely sure how clueless he really is but apparently he's defending Nishimura (even tho it's still a mystery to me whether he knows she's being bullied or not). Also, Nishimura is cute, and it's nice to see how she reacts to Takada and his sister. Overall a decent episode 3/5, so far the anime is a 4/10 to me.


    Grant me one hour on love's most sacred shores
    To clasp the bosom that my soul adores,
    Lie heart to heart and merge my soul with yours

I'm a bit worried that it really is a one-joke-show. But so far, it is so cute! I love this wholesome friendship/romance. Now we just need a time-skip to high school or college, when they have gone from "childhood friends" to passionate lovers!

Ooo, it turns out Hino is a good boy. At least he didn't bully Nishimura like Kitagawa and the others. Takada's onee-san is also a good person and even she really likes Nishimura, hahaha.

I was thinking that it's a good thing Takada is still an elementary school kid, if he was a high schooler or college student... I don't know how many girls would have fallen in love and had their hearts broken by him ;'>

I really like that 'Taiyou' part.

Nishimura does look cute in the white dress.

I'd say it kind of inadvertently discourages bullying in how shows through Takada's innocent mind that there is a lack of clear breakdown between love and hate because in either case you're just obsessing over someone and you kind of see this in how everyone reacts to him pointing these things out how he misinterprets things. If you truely didn't like someone you would just not hang around them and not talk about them rather than spend time bullying them which often is actually out of jealousy.

Even I'm jealous of how cute Nishimura is, especially when Takada is hyping her up. This show gives me the wholesome happy vibes, one of the main reasons I watch anime.

Takada is a being of light✨ I love his innocence, his sincerity and how he always defends Akane from the cruelty of the rest of his classmates. This anime gives an overdose of cuteness 💖

Tank Top kid was funny, the older sister is a bit of a weirdo.

Still annoyingly sweet.

I feel like if every upcoming one is like this we'll probably get tired of Takada's praises very quickly.


Already was after episode 1. Just even more of the same in episode 2!
He's not really praising her either, he's just really into getting cool "powers", so he's being just as dumb as the rest of the kids, but coming off as being nice!

Dropped.

They won't be able to keep a manga ongoing for 5 years and fill 13 anime episodes if this was really all there is to this series. You might want to reconsider, obviously I can't post any spoilers here beyond this episode, but as some already hinted at it, it's probably safe to say there is a bit more going on. Like why does the title have the word "Friend" in it, if Takada was just another of these "dumb kids" with the only difference being that he thinks this "reaper power" is cool, where most of her classmates use it against her? He wouldn't be much of a friend if all he cared about were these reaper rumors, now would he?

Also pay attention at the OP and ED visuals, these give clues about the theme of this series. It's far from just some dumb kids with only one of them being dumb in a friendly way.

How is this show so freaking adorable!?!?!?!

Yeah, and how do so many people not realize this and think it's just a simple gag anime, that would get boring soon? This series, both anime and manga, is a hidden gem of wholesomeness, and we're just getting started.

Probably the most adorable show this season but I'm hoping the format doesn't get too repetitive? Nishimura blushing makes up about more than half of the show itself and they already went from hand holding to almost writing a love letter. We speedrunning most romance shows...




Maybe try sleeping?

I'm loving how taiyou takes every negative comment from other people about kohara and turns it into a positive aspect about her. Although, he may not really understand the malice under the words that others say about his friend, he doesn't fail to make her acknowledge that she is a likeable person. The sister is also really cool, i get where taiyou gets part of his personality from now.

I was a bit skeptical about continuing this bc I didn't know how the romance aspect would be incorporated but I'm liking it so far. It's a wholesome watch.

Hino's "Tank Top" calligraphy made me laugh a little too much. it's such a small detail during a scene cut but him deciding to write it in "Kanji", or should I say how it sounds like in kanji is pretty fun.

Akane's mental maturity is on another level compared to her classmates, who seem oddly childish for kids I presume are Year 6 (aged around 10-11). Teasing girls for having a gloomy vibe to them is something most boys wouldn't be doing by this point, and you'd typically only be seeing this sort of bullying done to other withdrawn boys.
